We learned fun facts about Jeff Kinney today: he likes to write in cemeteries with Oreos, has a 9 foot cheese wall, & wanted to be a cartoonist not an author. Participants learned how to draw Greg Heffley & Manny. @DutchmanCreekMS @diaryofawimpykid @BookBreak4Schls #MorningEvents

Today ELD classes watched an interview w/Yohuru Williams & Michael G Long and then worked on their paraphrasing skills. It definitely was productive struggle. 💙✏️💚 @NISDStinson @BookBreak4Schls #SkyhawkPride #CriticalThinkers #Communicators
